Don’t let social media fool you — Akuapem Poloo

Akuapem Poloo says her past mistakes and legal troubles have taught her to separate social media hype from real life.

In an interview with Giovani Caleb on TV3 as monitored by MyNewsGh, the actress admitted that her obsession with online validation once blinded her to consequences.

“Don’t let social media fool you,” she advised. “That’s what happened to me. I used to post without thinking. I didn’t even watch my videos before uploading them. I just wanted likes, views, and shares.”

The actress, who became infamous for her controversial posts and unfiltered commentary, says fame once made her reckless. “When I posted something and saw it going viral, I felt powerful,” she confessed.

“But that same power brought me down.”

After serving time in prison and converting to Islam, Poloo says she now values peace over popularity. “You have to think before you act,” she said. “Life is bigger than social media trends.”

Her transformation, she insists, isn’t an act. “I’ve truly changed. I no longer insult or pick fights online. I just share joy, laughter, and positivity.”
